Abstract
A method is presented for investigating goal priority disagreements in social action programs. This method involves extracting the underlying themes of these disagreements via multidimensional scaling and correlational techniques. The primary application of the method is to enable the evaluator to determine which aspects of the program are assessable in goal-attainment terms and which are not. Further, the resultant multidimensional maps of goal disagreements may be used as cognitive aids in facilitating discussion among program participants about their disagreements. Throughout the exposition, an example of the application of the method to a youth outreach program is used for illustrative purposes.
